“A friend and I spent a wonderful week in Primrose Cottage in Penryn.”
The cottage was, as expected, charming, well equipped and clean and matched the photos on the website. The beds were very comfortable and were equipped with nice bedlinen. The hosts had provided a bottle of wine, milk, tea and coffee as a welcome gift and there was also a useful information pack. There was a slight issue on arrival and the hosts responded immediately when contacted. The neighbours, in the house to which the cottage is attached, were at times very noisy at night, which was especially difficult in the main bedroom. In an area where houses are terraced (frontage on the street ) with cottages attached at the back - down little alleys - it would be unrealistic to expect complete peace and quiet, but this was really quite disruptive some nights and spoilt some of the holiday experience. Whilst Penryn town is tiny, it is close to Falmouth, where you are spoilt for choice re shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Penryn does, however, have a couple of great fish and chips shops, a few pubs and a small supermarket conveniently located close to the cottage. The one niggle is the extremely difficult parking situation which resulted in us thinking twice about using the car in the evenings. The option is to use local taxis. However, parking is an issue throughout Cornwall and one that cannot be solved by the owners of the cottage. All in all, a very lovely week in a very pretty cottage located in such a beautiful part of the country.
Thank you for feedback, we are pleased to announce that we now have secured an allocated parking space in the local Quay Hill car park, only 70 yards from Primrose Cottage which is inclusive of a parking permit. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.
